Daan Utsav: The Joy Of Giving Week On Josh
National, October 18, 2021: Celebrating the Festival of Giving this year, the Josh app launched the #DaanUtsav Challenge inviting the audience to create social impact driven videos that help spread awareness on the joy of giving in various ways. Daan Utsav is celebrated every year from 2nd to 8th October. It is India's biggest Festival of Giving during which people come together and perform acts of kindness by giving their time, material or money in interesting ways to social cause(s) of their choice.
Through this challenge, Josh aimed at promoting the objectives of #DaanUtsav, making people aware of how they can enrich the lives of others through simple acts of kindness. The challenge saw maximum engagement on the app, garnering over 5K posts, 16 million views and 2 million likes.
The past two years have taken a toll on the physical, emotional and mental health, as the COVID-19 pandemic affected everyone. By celebrating the festival of giving, Josh hopes to bring smiles to people who have not been able to see the brighter side. The festival can be celebrated anywhere, be it a college, institution, individual, corporate, NGOs or resident welfare associations. It's a festival of coming together and performing acts of kindness in an interesting way to fulfill a cause.
"This Diwali, at Josh, we made a conscious effort to bring a bit of light and joy to those whose Diwali probably wasn't as bright. Leveraging the challenge on our platform and in collaboration with MASH Project Foundation, we aimed to facilitate #DaanUtsav to encourage the spirit of giving and extending kindness and compassion to those who aren't as fortunate. Everyone is entitled to joy and light in their life, no matter what their circumstance is. We, at Josh, celebrated the Festival of Giving by doing our bit to spread joy and happiness around us," said Sunder Venketraman, Head of Creator and Content Ecosystem, Josh.
